'This book critically examines "just liberal violence": forms of
direct and structural violence that others may be "justly"
subjected to. Michael Neu focusses on liberal defences of torture,
war and sweatshop labour, respectively, and argues that each of
these defences fails and that all of them fail for similar reasons.
Liberal defences of violence share several blind spots, and it is
the task of this book to reveal them. Neu offers a unifying
perspective that reveals the three kinds of defence of violence
under investigation as being essentially one of a kind. He
demonstrates that each of these defences suffers from serious and
irreparable intellectual defects and articulates these defects in a
synthesised critique. The book goes on to accuse liberal defenders
of being complicit in contemporary structures and practices of
violence, and highlights the implications of this argument for
moral and political philosophers who spend their professional lives
thinking about morality and politics.'
